PDLP Chapter 708 Well done
Chapter 708 Well done
"So, this special training is also to help them adapt to combat without the Rain Dragon as a fighting force?"
Kisuke Urahara said, "That's certainly part of the meaning, but you seem calmer than I expected. I thought you already knew."
"Well, nothing is impossible, there's always a way to recover." Yuko was indeed a little surprised, but not to the point of being upset.
Kisuke Urahara broke out in a sweat and said, "You really are optimistic."
"Then I'll just go die, okay?"
"Did you eat gunpowder?" Yoruichi came in from outside, carrying two bags of ingredients.
Yuko turned around and glanced at the bag.
Yoruichi lifted the bag, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Want some?"
“…Eat.” Yu Zi pursed her lips. “At least you guys have some conscience.”
“Then it’s settled.” Kisuke Urahara smiled slightly. “I’ll leave the rest to the three of you.”
The blonde girl, Lillian, puffed out her chest triumphantly: "Leave it to us! We'll make a good fool of those guys!"
The zipper on Ninja Bara's mask nodded slightly.
Yuko was completely confused. How could she see clearly with the curtains drawn?
The Tibetan bowed gracefully and said, "Please rest assured, we will do our best to play the villainous role well."
“Oh, that’s really reliable.” Kisuke Urahara clapped his hands.
At that moment, Yoru's eyes flickered slightly: "Kisuke, Renji is back."
Kisuke Urahara's expression shifted slightly: "Let's begin."
"clear."
After nodding, the three disappeared from the spot.
Three seconds later, Renji flung open the door and walked in.
“I’m back…Eh? Ms. Yuko? You’re here too?” Renji noticed Yuko at the table and greeted her.
Kisuke Urahara waved his fan: "Is Mr. Shiraishi off on patrol?"
Renji's forehead twitched: "Yeah, because of that idiot, quite a few Hollows have been attracted here."
Yuko propped her cheek up with her hand: "You just realized? I already told you, the Hollows in Karakura Town are not like other places."
"Hmph, after all, he's just a self-taught guy. Even if he's grown to this level, his control over spiritual power is still terrible."
"In some ways, it is indeed quite deadly."
Yoruichi pushed the bag in front of Ikuko and poked her.
"what?"
"Go and prepare the ingredients."
"..."
Yu Zi picked up the ingredients without saying a word: "It's really going to be a lot of work to get a free meal from you guys."
Renji's eyes lit up when he saw what was in the bag: "Oh! Hot pot again?!"
Kisuke Urahara said with a smile, "That's right, even with Mr. Freeloader around, we won't deliberately lower the food standards."
Renji: "..."
How many times do I have to say "free food" before you're satisfied? You bastard!
……
"Bye-bye~" After having dinner at Urahara Store, Yuko said goodbye to everyone and left Urahara Store.
As night deepened, the streets were bathed in the dim yellow light of the streetlights.
As Yuko passed by the river, she inadvertently noticed Longgui standing on the riverbank, brandishing a long sword.
The child was practicing breathing techniques and training himself by swinging a long sword.
Without disturbing her, Yuko left directly.
She pondered Ishida Uryu's situation, and as she had previously told Urahara Kisuke, she didn't think there was no solution.
At least for now, Yulong's spiritual power hasn't completely disappeared, and he can still see the void.
This morning's performance proves it.
Most importantly, how could the second male lead in a shonen manga be written out of the story so easily?
Isn't it obvious that it can be restored?
Yu Zi wasn't worried at all, especially since she had her stubborn, arrogant father around.
If other people aren't panicking, then it must not be a big deal.
She's now more concerned with where to start with those three modified souls, how to tease them, and how to train Ichigo and the others.
It's important to know that Ichigo's current strength is truly formidable. Putting aside his unstable Hollowfication, his captain-level combat abilities alone are incomparable to those of a modified soul.
Or do these three modified souls possess some noteworthy abilities?
……
Meanwhile, at Orihime Inoue's apartment.
Orihime was awakened from her sleep by memories of her brother from her childhood, and tears involuntarily streamed down her face.
The loss of a loved one is not so easy to accept.
"Ding-dong-"
The doorbell rang suddenly.
"Huh? Wait, I'm here." It's so late... Orihime paused for a moment, wiped away her tears, and went to the door to look through the peephole.
The person outside the door made her pupils dilate slightly.
Those were the relatives she longed for day and night, but who were already separated from her by death.
Orihime Inoue's older brother, Inoue Hiroshi.
Orihime opened the door in surprise.
"I am back."
"……elder brother."
……
Yu Zi had just arrived home and was about to grab her pajamas to wash up when two figures suddenly flashed past the second-floor window.
Yuko went to the window and watched Ichigo and Renji's departing figures.
Already started?
That direction seems to be where Orihime's house is located.
When Ichigo and Ichigo arrived at Orihime's house, a massive door, resembling the gates of hell, opened outside the windows of Orihime's house.
It was a huge and menacing door with massive bone arms on both sides, shrouded in a dark red aura.
Kurosaki Ichigo and Abarai Renji arrived just in time.
Sensing the unusual spiritual pressure emanating from Karakura Town, Ishida and Chad also rushed over.
"What...what is that?!" Renji stared in shock at the enormous door floating in mid-air, the ominous spiritual pressure making him tense. "The Gates of Hell? No, this feels different!"
"Come here, Orihime, come over here."
Inoue Hiroshi stood by the window, a smile on his face, and reached out his hand to Orihime.
Orihime hesitated for a moment, her outstretched hand hovering in mid-air, but she eventually took his hand in hers.
The next moment, the huge door opened, and Orihime's body was involuntarily pulled towards it by the enormous suction force generated by the door.
"what!"
"stop!!!"
With Orihime's exclamation, Ichigo leaped from the street and swung Zangetsu at the door, but he was too late.
The door turned into a wisp of dark red black mist and disappeared.
"hateful!"
Ichigo landed helplessly, gritting his teeth as he looked up at the sky, which was now empty.
He looked at everyone: "What exactly happened? What is that?"
Renji, beads of sweat on his forehead, shook his head: "I don't know. Although it looks like the Gates of Hell, it's not."
Ishida Uryu closed his eyes slightly, and after a moment he opened them: "I can't sense Inoue's presence."
Just as Yuko had guessed, although he had lost his Quincy abilities, his spiritual power had not completely disappeared, otherwise he would not have noticed the strangeness here.
Ichigo asked impatiently, "What should we do?"
Everyone fell into silence.
Facing the door that led Orihime away, no one had a single thought in their mind.
Chadu was silent for a moment, then said, "How about asking Teacher Yuzi?"
Ichigo's eyes lit up: "Well done!"
……
"Well done, in the middle of the night..."
Late at night, Yuko, dressed in black pajamas, leaned against the doorframe with her arms crossed. Her long, wine-red hair was a bit messy from getting up in the middle of the night, with two strands sticking up. She stared blankly at the people in the doorway with dead fish eyes.
She miscalculated.
It was a complete miscalculation.
This guy will definitely come looking for her if something happens to him.
“Hey, do you guys even know what time it is?” Yu Zi raised her wrist and pointed to a watch that didn’t actually exist. “In the middle of the night, instead of sleeping, you’re yelling and shouting at the door of a female teacher who lives alone. Do you want to be on the news? I’ve even thought of a headline for you: ‘A gang of delinquent teenagers ambushes a beautiful female teacher in the middle of the night. Is this moral decay or a distortion of human nature?’”
In the past, everyone would probably have made some sarcastic remarks. But Ichigo now has no intention of making any.
"Auntie, this is a matter of life and death."
Yu Zi said irritably, "Even if you're about to give birth, it's still not allowed! It's two in the morning. If any of you dare to doze off in class tomorrow, I'll kill you."
She was trying to use this threat to discourage everyone.
However, it was quite obvious that even Ichigo, who was most afraid of her, was not afraid at all at this moment.
"This is no time for jokes, Auntie!" Ichigo nearly jumped up in panic, grabbing Yuuko's shoulder and shaking her. "Inoue! Inoue was taken away by a strange door! Right in front of us! Something like the gates of hell!"
Yuko's head bobbed up and down from being shaken, like a broken bobblehead. She expressionlessly reached out and precisely pinched Ichigo's wrist, applying slight pressure.
"Ouch! It's broken!" Ichigo immediately let go, clutching his wrist and gasping for breath.
Yuko looked up impatiently: "Kidnapping? If it's kidnapping, go find the police. This kind of thing isn't something a weak teacher like me can handle."
She was about to close the door as she spoke.
Ichigo inserted himself into the door frame, blocking the doorway.
"I'm serious! This is really not harassment!"
Yu Zi paused for a moment: "Given your reputation for harassing older women on the beach, I find it hard to believe you. If you don't leave now, I'm calling your parents!"
"If you want bamboo shoots stir-fried with pork, then continue."
Ichigo was about to go crazy: "That's not me!"
This is a matter of life and death, why is the aunt still like this?
"Teacher, you should have noticed something, right?" Compared to the impatient Ichigo, Ishida Uryu was able to calm down, pushed up his glasses, and said calmly.
Ikuko looked calmly.
Ishida Uryu calmly said, "With your strength, you should be able to sense that abnormal spiritual pressure fluctuation."
Yuko gazed at him calmly, her lips slightly parted: "Rain Dragon."
The expressions on everyone's faces hardened slightly.
"Tomorrow you will sit at Rukia's empty table."
"……what?"
Even Ishida Uryu was stunned by Yuko's sudden and completely off-topic remark, causing his fingers, which were pushing up his glasses, to freeze.
It took me a moment to realize what was happening.
It was something the teacher said jokingly on the day we returned from Soul Society.
……
Is now the time to say this? !
Seeing everyone standing there, Yu Zi sighed and rubbed her temples, saying, "I did sense that unusual spiritual pressure fluctuation."
Ichigo's face lit up with joy: "Then..."
Yu Zi interrupted him directly: "But you are far too confident in me."
"I told you before when we were in Soul Society, right? I'm not actually a local. I come from outside the world. I'm neither a Shinigami nor a Quincy, neither human nor Hollow."
"It is an existence called a ghost."
"My understanding of this world, whether it's about Shinigami or Quincy, is limited. I probably don't even know as much as you, Uryu."
"I'm sorry, but if you want to rely on my experience to determine who took Orihime away, I'm afraid you can't."
Whether it was the surprise at Yuko's identity or the fact that she was also helpless, everyone was stunned for a moment.
"In short, instead of coming to me, an outsider, you'd better figure out a solution yourselves. That's all." Yu Zi left these words and closed the door.
Behind the door, Yuko wiped away non-existent sweat from her forehead.
"That bastard Urahara, I should never have agreed to his proposal."
I just keep causing her trouble.
But at least she managed to fool me, hopefully I won't contact her again.
Or should she take a day off tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after that?
Outside the door, Ichigo snapped out of his daze, gritted his teeth, and hissed, "Damn it!"
Despite being shocked by Yuko's identity, Ishida Uryu pushed up his glasses, realizing that now was not the time to dwell on it.
"Now that things have come to this, let's first carefully check if Inoue's spiritual pressure is still in the city."
Ichigo nodded: "Let's split up and search. We'll meet at the school in the morning."
……
Yuko, who hadn't slept all night, went to school again early in the morning with her briefcase.
The life of a corporate slave.
Upon arriving at the office, before Yuko could even put the textbooks back on the desk, Longgui rushed in.
Long Gui glanced around the office and, not seeing any other teachers, said nervously, "Teacher! Something terrible has happened!"
Yuko's eyelids twitched; she already guessed what she was going to say, so she interrupted her first.
"As for Orihime, she is fine."
"Eh?"
"You can probably understand this as a test for Ichigo and the others."
Yuko looked past her at Ochi Miyu at the door and said calmly, "I'll explain the details to you later, but please pretend you don't know this person, just like everyone else."
Upon hearing the second half of the sentence, Meiyu asked curiously, "Don't know what?"
Yu Zi blurted out, "Long Gui just asked me how a girl can attract someone she likes."
"Huh?!" Long Gui was still immersed in Yu Zi's words and hadn't come to his senses when he heard Yu Zi rambling on.
Miyu frowned: "Yuzawa-kun, asking a teacher about this kind of thing is not something a student should do."
Yuko nodded silently: "That's right."
"Besides, you've come to the wrong person. Yu Zi wouldn't know anything about these things."
Yuko's lips twitched: "Miyu, I suspect you are insulting me."
"Huh? Sorry, sorry."
Long Gui looked at the two clowns and shook his head: "Teacher, I'll be going now."
Yuko reminded him, "Yes, remember what I said."
Meiyu asked curiously, "What did you say? Did you teach her how to confess her feelings?"
Long Gui, who hadn't even left the office, stumbled and almost fell.
I have a feeling that after this questioning, some terrible rumors will spread.
